Career goal: My goal is to pursue a career in healthcare, but I'm currently exploring different paths within the field to discover which discipline best aligns with my strengths and passions.
How I get involved: I love staying involved in the Waterloo community through leadership, volunteering, and student organizations. I've been a Science Orientation Leader, an Off-Campus Community Don, and a volunteer at Fall and March Open Houses, where I've enjoyed welcoming and supporting new and prospective students. I'm also involved with Let's Talk Science and serve as a Marketing Executive for WatSAM and UW Chai and Verse. These experiences have helped me build connections, develop leadership skills, and give back to the Waterloo community.
Why I love my program
When I first applied to Waterloo, I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted to pursue in science. I just knew Biomedical Science sounded like a program I'd enjoy. Looking back, I'm so glad I chose it. Through my courses and labs, I've discovered new interests, gained a deeper understanding of human health, and explored the many career paths the program can lead to, such as pharmacy, dentistry etc.. I especially enjoy how the program combines classroom learning with hands-on experiences, making what I learn feel relevant and helping me explore the many career paths available in healthcare.
Why University of Waterloo?
I chose Waterloo because of its welcoming community and the many opportunities available for students to get involved beyond the classroom. When I attended events like Open House, I was inspired by how passionate and supportive the students, faculty, and staff were, which made me feel that Waterloo was a place where I could truly belong. I was also drawn to the opportunities in research, volunteering, leadership, and student organizations that allow students to explore their interests and grow. Since joining Waterloo, I’ve had the chance to build meaningful connections, challenge myself academically, and become more involved in the community that first attracted me here.
